Anachrony - Basegame - Boardgame - Insert

This custom insert is designed to hold the entire Anachrony base game in its original box, with no additional storage required. Every game component has a dedicated space, ensuring an efficient and compact layout.

The design allows the box to be stored both vertically and horizontally without shifting, keeping all elements secure. Sleeved cards fit seamlessly into their compartments, and each tray is optimized for easy removal and return during setup and teardown.

The first layer showcases the organized arrangement of player boards, tokens, and cards, forming a clean and practical system that reduces setup time while protecting the components.
 

Timeline Tile Holder

This insert includes a dedicated housing for all Timeline Tiles. Each tile fits precisely into its slot, ensuring they remain secure during storage and easy to access during gameplay.

The holder also provides additional slots for path markers, allowing players to clearly track their position in time throughout the game. A total of 10 slots are included to accommodate all timeline tiles.

To emphasize gameplay clarity, the Impact Tile is intentionally designed without marker slots, indicating that this tile is skipped during time travel. This detail ensures intuitive handling and prevents confusion during play.

Player Board Tray

This tray holds all components for a single player, keeping their setup compact and organized. Tokens, markers, dice, and sleeved faction cards fit securely, ensuring nothing shifts during storage.

The Path Board of each faction sits neatly on top, acting as a lid to keep everything in place. This makes setup quick and intuitive—each player receives their tray with all materials ready to go.

Additionally, the tray includes a dedicated mold for the Morale Marker and the Time Travel Marker. These small but essential pieces are often at risk of being misplaced during cleanup; the extra slots guarantee they remain safely stored after every game.

Worker, Building, and Collapse Tile Trays

These trays provide dedicated organization for the different tile types, making setup and gameplay faster and more intuitive.

• Worker Tray – Workers are neatly separated by type, allowing quick access when drafting or assigning them during the game.
• Building Tray – Buildings are stored in a stable, upright stack with dividers that prevent tiles from collapsing or mixing. This design ensures that the most recent building tile is always easily accessible, avoiding misplacement during play.
• Collapse Tile Tray – Collapse tiles are stored separately, ready to be introduced only during the collapse phase. This keeps them out of the way until they are needed, reducing clutter on the table.

Together, these trays prevent tile shifting, collapsing, or mixing, ensuring an organized and smooth gameplay experience.

Resource Trays

All resources are stored in dedicated compartments, keeping them neatly separated and easy to access during play. Sloped dividers are integrated into each section, allowing players to grab tokens quickly without disrupting the tray’s order.

For best usability, the slopes are designed to be printed in white on a separate print plate. This improves visibility of the resources, especially between the purple and black cubes as well as the blue water droplets, while requiring no AMS or multi-color setup.

This design ensures clarity at the table, faster resource handling, and a smoother overall play experience.

Setup & Card Tray

This tray consolidates all cards and components required for game setup and round progression. It holds:

• All setup cards needed to prepare the game board,
• The dice, stored securely alongside the cards,
• All round-specific cards used during gameplay.

Cards fit sleeved, and the open-front design makes them easy to remove and return without bending. By having all essential elements grouped in one place, setup is streamlined and players can jump into the game faster.

This insert provides a complete storage and gameplay solution for the Anachrony base game. Every component has a dedicated space, all cards fit sleeved, and the design allows the box to be stored both vertically and horizontally without shifting.

By combining secure storage with thoughtful usability features—such as player-ready trays, sloped resource compartments, and clear separation of tiles—this insert significantly reduces setup and cleanup time while keeping gameplay organized and immersive.

With this system, Anachrony is always ready to play, protected, and easier to enjoy.
